Moms 5/15

The best thing about mommies are their unwavering support.
My mother was the most supportive mom.
She encouraged my dreams and grounded my realities.
She always had a wonderfully kind word for many and any one who needed it
 (and for those that didn't as well).
When we were doing something wrong or borderline illegal,
she would try to remember which one of her kids was doing it
and call them but it sounded like role call. LOL
I loved her 'role call' of Michael Melvin Tasha Nancy- 
and to this day we always wondered what Nancy did to get on the list.
(Nancy was a co-worker who was as funny and helpful as mom).
One of the biggest jokes with Mike was "why am I first on the list?"
probably most of the trouble surrounded him, who knows.
hmmm coffee.
she appreciated a good cup of coffee.
she would often lace her coffee with cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.
(cinnamon turns out is good for blood pressure and stuff. go her!)
she never quite could take hot coffee as years of dealing with us kids
(when we were young),
 and life in general getting out the front door
(as we got older)
she drak her coffee room temperature.
not iced- just room temperature
'when she remembered' LOLOL

Anyway, just a few thoughts on you mom that make me smile at the memories.
